Welcome to Political Food, a podcast and recipe book of how human conflict has shaped cuisine. Adding dissident to dessert, campaigns to confectionery, separatism to spaghetti, patriotism to pastries, revolution to ravioli… you get the point. This is the history of war, power, technology and immigration as told through food. Every episode is both a recipe and a story.

Upcoming episodes include: Hutspotfrom the Netherlands (listen to the promo), Brigadeiros from Brazil, Beer Soup from Germany and Budae Jjigae from Korea. Check back this month for updates and new shows. In the mean time, check out our mini episode on the Peruvian cocktail the Pisco Chilcano..
